Shoulder Arms is Charlie Chaplin's second film. Released in 1918, it is a silent comedy film set in France during World War I. It co-starred Edna Purviance and Sydney Chaplin, Chaplin's elder brother.
Plot: Some time during World War I, Doughboy (Charlie Chaplin) begins his service in the war amongst "the awkward squad" a group of American soldiers. He is bow-legged, unbalanced, and uncoordinated during bootcamp in contrast to the other soldiers who all have excellent coordination. He does move on to the front in France though, amongst the shells and trenches, and bunks amongst comrades (Sydney Chaplin). Doughboy is charged with guard duty and begins daydreaming of bars, cities, and home before being dismissed back to his bunk.
